An age old technological question, that these gals & guys over at IBM try to answer through Autonomic Computing, with the real life concept of a self healing computer and IT systems. The Washingtonian surely has a list of stuff to do. The over arching solution is to get rid of clutter, time-suck tasks and consolidate mundane tasks. Hmm, like finding the right CD for the right case perhaps? Solution? Get a big CD book and trash all the jewel cases. Result? You still have to find the right slot, so that pile of solo discs does not get too high. So depending on what works for you or maybe the answer is to give stupid crap new meaning. Like managing iTunes,another time suck which has made things easier for me to make mixes for the car or even random Shuffles and downloading files, etc but the reward is this new enjoyment and instant gratification. Or you could let other DJs do the work for you, like yours truly, as it all comes back to me, DJ Spork presents: Show #5 Jersey's Best Dancers so just either download the music file or enjoy via RSS the short playlist. It's a bitch to do because I am not totally set-up on a computer, the show is record live to cassette! And then mixed down back to CD. Remember this is analog living and the human transfer element is in process here I might be too lazy to learn new mixing software, although I am sure it's easy, just need ellusive time. I'll get there, honestly it's question of; if my current machine can take it and maybe a bulkier slush fund, but that is another blog for another day. Enjoy.
